Lane Closures For Ala Moana Center Expansion Project

Lane Closures For Ala Moana Center Expansion Project

Drivers are being advised that a one-block section of Keeaumoku Street (mauka-bound lanes near Ala Moana Center) between Kona Street and Kapiolani Boulevard will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic now through Dec. 31 and fully closed from Jan. 2 to 12.

The street closures are required as part of the on-going construction for the Ala Moana Center expansion as steel beams will be erected for the construction of Hawaii’s first full-line Nordstrom Inc. department store, which will open in spring 2008.

No entrances to Ala Moana Center will be affected by these lane closures. However, during the hours when both mauka-bound lanes are closed, Kona Street motorists will be redirected to use Kona Iki Street and Mahukona Street to access Kapiolani Boulevard. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes onto Ala Moana Boulevard, Piikoi Street and Atkinson Drive when exiting Ala Moana Center.
